what a waste of a good K20. shoulda put it in a EK, EG or something older.

***20strong*** · 07-10-2009, 11:50 AM

I think it's cool. Kinda like vette running gear in a ciic LOL.

Chubs · 07-10-2009, 11:51 AM

u need torque in a jeep style car.....K20 has no torque. Goodluck w/ that.

Pretty sweet! I once worked on a sammy with a VW TDI motor.
I bet that Zuk hauls...

Who cares, K20s are a dime a dozen, our cars are not special lol. I think it is awesome what he did, just wonder what kind of transmission was bolted onto it...?

Chubs · 07-10-2009, 02:46 PM

k20s arent a dime a dozen. It'd be nice to have a k20a head to bolt on this k24 block...

maybe he put a F series tranny in it with a K bell housing.

The Samurai had a 1.3 liter, 63 hp (47 kW), 4-cylinder engine and was available as a convertible or a hardtop. The Suzuki Samurai became intensely popular within the serious 4wd community for its extreme off road performance and reliability compared to other 4wds of the time.

The Samurai is also considered a great beginner 4wd due to its simple design and ease of modifications with engine swaps and suspension upgrades.

Chubs · 07-10-2009, 03:07 PM

dude seriously, i was just saying, IF you are going to put that much time/money into it, make it worthwhile.

geeze. The samurai that my g'parents have does suck. it'll get up to like 50mph and won't go any faster. I hitched a 18ft trailer to it w/ only 4 couches on it.....it grunted the whole time. I do understand what you are talking about it being on paper, I just have first hand experience. I'd take a Willy's over a samurai anyday.

the key words in your quote is: "of the time".

the one i've driven is a 83 model with only 12k miles.

Chubs · 07-10-2009, 04:32 PM

ever heard of a transfer case? maybe the guy will want to do that later. Also dont forget he has a 4wd front axle on it.

besides.....what's a jeep style car that doesnt mud or climb rocks? = FAIL IMO

***Strate L O S S*** · 07-10-2009, 04:32 PM

Laugh at the Mustang GT/EVOX/STI/370Z owner that gets owned with a jeep style car.

A K20 in a 2,000 pound car is something serious.
